We pinned the Walmart Great Value brand against name brand competitors – the taste results are in!<\/em><\/p>\n Tired of overpaying for those household brands? My family and I did a thorough test to see how some of Walmart’s<\/a> Great Value Brand’s most popular foods stack up against name-brand competitors, and if they’re worth sacrificing your wallet or your tastebuds for 😉<\/strong><\/p>\n AND, spoiler alert<\/strong>!
